About this episode

Holly C. Alsop shares her journey from feeling unemployable to securing $24.7 million in funding and helping others access behavioral healthcare.

Imagine going from feeling "diagnosed unemployable" to helping 900,000 people access behavioral healthcare and landing millions in grant funding—all while wearing your pajamas if you want. 🎉 If burnout, rigid 9-5 routines, or feeling like you never quite "fit" the traditional workforce sound familiar, this video just might be your lifeline. Holly C. Alsop unlocks how building community, leveling-up with expert coaching, and designing work on your own terms can turn desperation into a thriving, flexible career. 🚀 The transformation? You’ll realize you can actually create your dream role, pick your clients, and have the freedom to live life on your terms. Stick around because you’re about to see how your “un-employability” might just be your biggest superpower. 🦄 EPISODE CREDITS: Hosted by: Meredith Noble & Alex Lustig Audio Edit by: Ana Castro Connect with Us: - Website: [www.learngrantwriting.org] - Instagram: [@learngrantwriting] - Facebook: [Learn Grant Writing]
